Great Deals York T501 Motorised/Incline Treadmill

Very pleased with my treadmill. It's solid and took a few minutes to put together. It's very heavy so would need 2 people to move it about the house and/or room but I didn't have too much trouble dragging it a few inches on my own. The pulse monitor doesn't work - and I have read that this is the main fault of this particular model - but I was not bothered about the pulse monitor in the first place (never used it at the gym after the first few times). Excellent value for money. Has paid for itself as far as cancelling my gym membership isconcerned. Has a small range of programmes but enough for most requirements. Easy to use too. I run 10k 4-5 days a week and it copes well with that amount of use. It's not the best treadmill on the market but for the price it's definitely worth it. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

I have recently bought this elsewhere - but the item is the same so the review shall be too.

Size wise (which you can probably see for yourself) is very compact. My bedroom is only 2m x 2.5m but I've managed to fit it in. Being not so long...if you fall behind with a stride - it won't be long before you run out of surface. Yes it is heavy, but I've been told that some weigh over 100kg (remember the size of those monsters at the gym?), and this one is 55kg (boxed weight) which is fine for even a small household. I asked the delivery men to take it upstairs and leave it on the landing outside my room. Now I'm 5'4 (yes and a girl) and I managed to unpack the thing on my own and drag it into my room within half an hour. The assembly requires the aid of a 2nd person - but this really is only to hold the display as you slot it into place, otherwise it's incredibly easy to put together.

Yes the cup holders do look cheap. There are groove-thingys which show that they've slotted into place, but they don't seem to stay there. But they only pop out if you happen to knock into them from below - so they'll do.

The incline and foldaway are all manual. With the level of usage I plan - there's not much point in folding it away and doing heavy lifting again! I went to a couple of stores looking at running shoes and they had their treadmills to test my stride - it was only after this that I noticed their's was completely flat. The York t501 is at a slight incline. To the eye (and if you sit on it!) it's not flat, but standing on it - you don't really notice much difference. Thinking the item may have arrived with it set to an incline - I felt around underneath it and found that the motor compartment thing was almost touching the floor - ergo it can't get any flatter.

The pulse sensors...hmmm...what can I say? Sometimes I think it's working - because it is increasing as I speed up. But once it read that I was at 150bpm when walking at 5kph! (no I'm not that unfit!) And then when jogging at 7kph, it never went above 130-140bpm.

It came with some lubricant - maybe enough for one usage...am not sure...haven't tried it yet...but it's a very small amount,(I didn't know beforehand that this was necessary-so I'm passing it on!) and there are instructions inside as to how often you need to do it - as it depends on your usage. Less than 3hrs/wk = every 8 months, 3-5hrs/wk = every 4 months, over 5hrs/wk = every 2 months. More fluid can be purchased from York.

Bought this treadmill to assist me in my effort for the London Marathon in April. It looks really complicated when you open the instruction manual to put it together but actually two of us managed it in an hour. I am technically inept and panic at flat pack putting together!
I have just done 4 miles on the treadmill, which for an old timer who is incredibly unfit, not bad going, that is power walking not running I might add! I looked at quite a few treadmills before opting for this one and glad I did as am very pleased so far. Everything seems to be in good working order. I like the fact that I can pause my session and return back to it without losing everything I have done....It is great having it in the house as outside is still snow and ice everywhere... also can just pop onto it as and when, which being a full time at home carer, is very helpful indeed... so a very good purchase all in all. It's a sturdy piece of equipment and does not take up too much room so for the price a good buy.
One hint - use the oil lubrication enclosed as instructed, it helps with any initial "noises" - it goes beneath the roller on the underside of the treadmill.
